Bug #10011	Version 3.1.8 can't be decompressed
Submitted:	19 Apr 2005 20:10	Modified:	19 Apr 2005 21:08
Reporter:	R Fields	Email Updates:
Status:	Can't repeat	Impact on me:	None
Category:	Connector / J	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	3.1.8	OS:
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
I reported this in the Forums 4 days ago, but the download for the new version of Connector/J v3.1.8 can't be decompressed.

The windows version that is zipped up can be decompressed, but the .jar does not seem to be readable.

Thanks,

How to repeat:
tar -xzvf mysql-connector-java-3.1.8.tar.gz 

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I downloaded it and tested on CygWin:
<cut>
mysql-connector-java-3.1.8/testsuite/simple/TransactionTest.java
mysql-connector-java-3.1.8/testsuite/simple/TraversalTest.class
mysql-connector-java-3.1.8/testsuite/simple/TraversalTest.java
mysql-connector-java-3.1.8/testsuite/simple/UpdatabilityTest.class
mysql-connector-java-3.1.8/testsuite/simple/UpdatabilityTest.java

miguel@light ~
$ ls
menagerie  mysql-connector-java-3.1.8  mysql-connector-java-3.1.8.tar.gz

Then maybe you got a corrupted download.

I have tried downloading it several times, from various mirrors.  

Here are exact steps to reproduce:

wget "http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-J/mysql-connector-java-3.1.8.tar.gz/from/http..."

tar -xzvf mysql-connector-java-3.1.8.tar.gz

Other people have reported this exact problem.  It is not just me.

Also, I can download the nightly snapshot and decompress it just fine.  It only seems to be the one available from the main downloads link that has the problem.

Thanks,
